"Uncle Hokage, the intelligence was wrong! It's a good thing I took that mission. Otherwise, if it had really been treated as a B-rank mission, the people sent would probably not have been able to return."
As soon as he walked into the Hokage's office, Minato shouted loudly. He did this to gain the upper hand in the upcoming negotiations.
"What's going on?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and looked at Jiraiya.
"There were Hidden Cloud Village ninjas in that mission. A team of seven led by an elite Jonin and a Jonin," Jiraiya explained in detail what had happened on the mission.
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a wave of relief. It was a good thing he had sent Jiraiya. Otherwise, if he had sent someone else, it was very likely that the entire team would have been wiped out.
"Where are the surviving Cloud ninjas?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.
"They're downstairs. Minato's shadow clone and I are watching them," Jiraiya said.
"Uncle Hokage, I have a request. When the intelligence personnel are interrogating them, please have them extract the Lightning Release Chakra Mode for me. I need it."
Minato quickly stated his thoughts. Although he could elementalize in the future, his physical body also needed to be trained.
"No problem. Consider it a reward for the incorrect mission rank," Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded without hesitation, then turned to look at Mikoto Uchiha and Hayate Gekko.
"Do you two need any compensation?" He couldn't favor one over the other. This was something Hiruzen Sarutobi did well.
"I need a powerful swordsmanship technique," Hayate Gekko said directly, stating his thoughts.
After a moment of thought, Mikoto Uchiha asked for a Fire Release ninjutsu. As a member of the Uchiha clan, she preferred Fire Release.
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi readily agreed. He gave the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet to Mikoto Uchiha and then found a powerful swordsmanship technique for Hayate Gekko.
"As for Minato's Lightning Release Chakra Mode, I'll have Jiraiya give it to you after the interrogation," Hiruzen Sarutobi finally promised Minato.
After Minato nodded, he couldn't wait to take his leave. He missed Kushina a little.
"That guy probably ran off to see Kushina. Really, so young and already knows how to pick up girls," Jiraiya said sourly.
As an adult in his twenties, he didn't even have a girl who liked him, yet his disciple already had a girlfriend. It was too embarrassing.
Hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha was stunned, and a wave of sadness inexplicably washed over her, which she found strange.
...
After leaving the Hokage's office, Minato went straight to the Ninja Academy. It was still early, so Kushina should be in class.
"Uzumaki Kushina versus Nawaki Senju."
When Minato arrived at the academy, he was surprised to find that Kushina's class was having a practical combat exercise, and that guy Nawaki was in Kushina's class.
But on second thought, he was relieved. With the status of the young master of the Senju clan, transferring classes was a piece of cake for him.
Minato sat on a tree and didn't make a sound, preparing to watch the show.
Hmm, the show of Kushina beating up Nawaki. Kushina had been training with him for so long, using the shadow clone cheat to train every day. Her strength had improved at an incredible rate. Nawaki was definitely no match for her.
Sure enough, as soon as the battle between the two began, Nawaki fell into a disadvantage and was constantly being chased and beaten by Kushina. And this was with Kushina not using her monstrous strength.
Otherwise, the entire school grounds would have been torn apart by Kushina.
"Stop! I give up! Stop hitting me!" After Nawaki's face was swollen like a pig's head, he finally gave up. It wasn't that he wasn't tough; his strength just didn't allow it.
Hearing this, Kushina sighed in regret. Another punching bag was gone. In the days that Minato was gone...
In order to divert her attention, Kushina would beat up the students who bullied her whenever she had nothing to do. The name "Bloody Habenero" was even more famous than before, making everyone stay far away from her.
Except for the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and Nawaki, no one dared to approach her. But Nawaki was tough. He knew he couldn't win, but he always fought with all his might until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he couldn't bear the pain anymore before giving up.
As the young master of the Senju clan, he also had to work hard, or else he would be unworthy of the Senju clan's name.
"Uzumaki Kushina wins," Tamaki Shingetsu immediately announced after the battle between the two was over.
"Next, Shikaku Nara versus Mob Character XX."
Minato had no interest in watching the next battle. He threw a small stone in Kushina's direction, attracting her attention.
Holy crap! Who's the daredevil who dares to throw a stone at me? Kushina was just about to give the other party a good beating when she saw Minato waving at her with a smile from a tree.
Kushina's originally furious mood instantly calmed down. She didn't even ask for leave from Tamaki Shingetsu and directly skipped class, running away with Minato.
"Shikaku Nara wins. Next, Yamanaka—eh? Where did Kushina go?" Tamaki Shingetsu, who was about to announce the next match, found that Kushina was gone and couldn't help but ask.
"Teacher Shingetsu, Kushina just skipped class," one of the little brats who had been bullied by Kushina reported excitedly.
"Skipped class? Then Minato must be back," Tamaki Shingetsu instantly guessed the truth. Only Minato could make Kushina skip class without hesitation.
Seeing that Tamaki Shingetsu didn't blame Kushina for skipping class at all, the little brat who had reported her wilted.
